Ingredients List
- 1 1/2 cups fruit and/or vegetable juice, fresh pressed or store-bought (see below for juice combinations)
- 4 tablespoons plain gelatin (I prefer this grass-fed brand, but you can find plain gelatin near the Jello in your local grocery store. Four tablespoons usually comes out to 4-6 gelatin packets, but I would empty the packets into a bowl and use a measure spoon to be most accurate.)
- 2-4 tablespoons raw honey, depending on your preference and how sweet your juice is. I would do a bit more honey if your juice is heavy on the veggies.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or other extract of choice, optional
- up to 1 tablespoon extra health-building ingredients like Vitamin C powder, Magnesium powder, powdered probiotics, green powder, protein powder, etc.
Directions
Pour juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let sit for a few minutes until it starts to “bloom” (it will get wrinkly looking on the surface and all of the white powder from the gelatin will absorb into the liquid). When all the gelatin is absorbed, whisk to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Let the liquid warm through, but never boil. You are looking for the liquid to go from thick and batter-like to thin and runny. You want all of the gelatin to dissolve (you can test this by dipping your finger in the liquid and rubbing it against your thumb- if it”™s smooth, you”™re ready, if it”™s grainy, keep it on the heat).
Next, whisk in your honey, extract and any extra ingredients, if using. (*Note- if you are using powdered probiotic, wait until the juice has cooled to room temperature before adding to avoid killing any of the good bacteria.)
Pour into candy molds or a loaf pan and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until set.
Remove from molds. If you used the loaf pan, cut your gelatin into small squares.
Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
